Hey Chiswick Chap, I will be reviewing this article. The subject is thrilling, will be happy to assess it. Please expect comment in the next few days. Artem.G (talk) 08:08, 3 July 2021 (UTC)

Turned out that you reworked almost all articles on Tolkien and Middle-earth; they are great, thanks a lot for it!

Thank you for the kind words, and for taking on this review. Chiswick Chap (talk) 08:32, 3 July 2021 (UTC)

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)
It is reasonably well written. a (prose, spelling, and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists): It is factually accurate and verifiable. a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR): d (copyvio and plagiarism): It is broad in its coverage. a (major aspects): b (focused): It follows the neutral point of view policy. Fair representation without bias: It is stable. No edit wars, etc.: It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate. a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
Overall: Pass/Fail:

Comments

Few comments/question:

• He built a process of Decline and fall in Middle-earth - Decline shouldn't be capitalized.

• Fixed.

• The cultural historian Modris Ekstein remarked that "rational man [had] undermined his own world" - Modris Eksteins should be a wikilink.

• Good find, done.

• and followed by the destruction of the two Lamps of Middle-earth and then - can you please point me to what are these two Lamps?

• Wikilinked.

• Earthly Paradise: Lothlórien has been compared to the place dreamed of in the Middle English poem Pearl.[25] Miniature from Cotton Nero A.x shows the Dreamer on the other side of the stream from the Pearl-maiden. - who (or what) is 'A.x'? And please put a period after 'Cotton Nero'.

• Fixed.

Thanks for quick response!

Few more comments:

• An Adventure by Charlotte Moberly and Eleanor Jourdain can be linked to Moberly–Jourdain incident

• Done.

• George du Maurier (friend of James's) - is it important that he was his friend?

• It's significant as it shows they were part of a network of writers leading to Dunne and then Tolkien. The network is cited to Flieger in the table and the text above it.

• Updated version of James's The Sense of the Past; it cites Einstein's Relativity and seems to allude to J. W. Dunne's dimensions of time - I doubt that Relativity should be capitalized, but if it's to distinguish 'The Relativity' of Einstein from any other theory of the same name, let it be.

• Fixed.

Apart from these minor comments, I think the article is really great - it's beautifully written, broad, cite good sources; images are nice and appropriate, and there is no copyright violations. I think it's indeed a GA, so once the latest suggestions would be addressed, I would pass it. Artem.G (talk) 09:28, 3 July 2021 (UTC) Artem.G - many thanks.
